Background Primary motor cortex (M1) organization and quadriceps femoris excitability may
change after anterior cruciate ligament injury (ACLi) and anterior cruciate ligament …

Background Differences in the excitability of motor generating neural pathways are reported
following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) that is associated with quadriceps …

Decreased voluntary activation contributes to quadriceps weakness following anterior
cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Alterations in neural excitability are likely …

Background Altered quadriceps corticomotor excitability has been demonstrated following
anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and reconstruction, however only the single joint vasti …

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures result in lasting quadriceps dysfunction that
contributes to secondary injury risk and development of osteoarthritis. There is evidence of …

Neuromuscular impairments, such as quadriceps weakness and activation deficits, persist
after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Recent research demonstrating …

Context Neuromuscular dysfunction is common after anterior cruciate ligament
reconstruction (ACL-R). However, little is known about quadriceps spinal-reflex and …

Background Persistent quadriceps weakness is common following anterior cruciate ligament
reconstruction (ACLr). Alterations in spinal-reflexive excitability, corticospinal excitability and …

This study comprehensively evaluated the test–retest reliability of raw and normalized
quadriceps motor evoked responses elicited by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in …

In the present report, we investigated changes in corticomotor excitability associated with
unilateral knee dysfunction secondary to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Ten …
